About this cottage rental
Tucked down a quiet path near the Ocracoke Lighthouse, Baby Duck Cottage is a lovingly crafted 3-bedroom, 2-bath island home designed for wonder, adventure, and memory-making. This modern reproduction of a classic 1920s bungalow features 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, beadboard paneling, and original-style crystal doorknobs. Each room is decorated with curated local photography and antique treasures — a blend of island history, comfort, and character that whispers stories of the past and invites new ones to unfold.
Inside, you’ll find:
• A peaceful first-floor queen primary bedroom with private ensuite bath
• A cheerful queen guest room with an adjacent full bath
• An upstairs retreat with twin beds, a cozy sitting area— plus the perfect perch for spying a pirate ship gliding across the Pamlico Sound
The open-plan living and dining area flows into a fully equipped kitchen — ideal for gathering over meals and putting together puzzles. Step outside to the screened porch, where the daybed and rocking chairs offer a front-row seat to island life, as long afternoons and slow evenings stretch gently into memory.
Additional amenities include:
• Outdoor shower
• Charcoal grill
• Washer/dryer
• WiFi, TV & Bluetooth Sound System
• Sundeck
• Framed views of the salt marsh
• Sea breezes
• Croaking of frogs at dusk
Centrally located yet peacefully tucked away, Baby Duck Cottage is just a short walk or bike ride to Silver Lake Harbor, Springer’s Point Nature Preserve, the village shops, restaurants, and the iconic lighthouse. The island’s 13 miles of wild, undeveloped beaches are easily accessed by bike or car — perfect for open-air exploring, surf splashing, or finding your own quiet place to sink your toes in the sand.
Whether you’re collecting shells, chasing ghost crabs by moonlight, or sharing stories on the porch as stars appear over the marsh, Baby Duck Cottage is more than a place to stay — it’s a storybook setting where adventures unfold and island memories are made to last.

The Baby Duck Cottage was a perfect second week retreat on the OBX for my wife and me. Fortunately we arrived just before Hurricane Imelda and the ferry shutting down and enjoyed watching the changing weather and exploring Ocracoke Island. My wife was able to comfortably work from the cottage which is located close to town and the lighthouse. We were able to Jeep and ride our e-bikes on the beach. Cottage was perfect!

Through obviously no fault of the property owner, a hurricane forced our evacuation after only two days. However, we had an idyllic brief holiday.

This is truly a beautiful little cottage. Impeccably clean!! The owners were very accessible and responsive. We normally rent places on the water so it was a bit different for us to be this closed in, however the coziness and proximity to the village was very nice. Everything was within walking or biking distance. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Very clean, plenty of room. The house is close to restaurants and shops. We rented bikes and were able to bike to almost everything. We really enjoyed our stay!
